If you think fantasy football ended with the NFL’s regular season, think again, my friends. The new trend of fantasy football playoff leagues has taken off.

Because only 12 teams are still playing, it’s easier to conduct your draft and keep track of the standings, if your league happens to offline.

There are two main differences in playoff fantasy football — head-to-head competition is replaced by a rotisserie-style scoring format and your draft strategy is more team-oriented than player-oriented. Because teams are eliminated each week, you want to draft players you think will last the longest. You want players to last all the way to the Super Bowl, or at least for three games, to accumulate as many points from those players as possible.

The exception is a site like RTSports.com, where you compile a different team each week based on the players playing that weekend.

Cbssports.com offers multiple leagues with varying buy-in amounts. The format here does not offer a draft, you simply pick an original eight-player team and you are limited to eight moves throughout the playoffs.

One of the most potentially lucrative sites is RTSports.com, which is offering a $50,000 grand prize for the team with the most points. There are 200 prizes overall, including $10,000 for second, $7,500 for third down to $125 for places 151-200. Buy-in for this league is $125. The format here involves selecting 10 players for the duration of the playoffs.

One league every fantasy player should take part in is at NFL.com. The site is offering a free NFL Playoff Challenge league where you pick eight players each weekend. The team with the most points at the conclusion of the Super Bowl wins a five-day/four-night trip for three to the 2015 Super Bowl.

You probably have as much chance winning this prize as you do winning the Powerball jackpot, but heck, it’s free and you have nothing to lose.

In playoff leagues without transactions, you want to draft players who will get to the Super Bowl or, at the very least, play in multiple games. The gambler that I am, I loaded up on Green Bay Packers hoping Aaron Rodgers’ return from injury will translate into a decent postseason run.

In leagues where you set up a new lineup each week, you’re targeting points, but also holding off on picking players you think will still be alive in future rounds. In that case, if you think Denver and Seattle will be in the Super Bowl, you will want to hold off on starting Peyton Manning or Marshawn Lynch until then.
